Buying a Second-Hand NI Product

After buying a second-hand NI product you will receive a License Transfer ID by the seller. You can register the product with this ID to your own user account. Buyers of second-hand NI products can find detailed instructions in this article. If you haven't received a Transfer ID, because you have no contact to the previous owner, please read this article.

Selling Hardware / Software Bundles

Product packages consisting of hardware and software bundles can only be sold or given to third parties free of charge as a whole. The individual components of a bundle may not be sold or transferred separately. The software activation requires the prior registration of the hardware. Therefore, the software can not be sold separately from the hardware.

EDU and NFR licenses Information

EDU and NFR product versions cannot be resold or transferred. Please refer to our Terms & Conditions for more information.

Upgrade licences

If a product is removed from your user account, all product upgrades which are based on this product will become invalid. In this case, the NI Registration Support staff will contact you before deleting a product from your user account. For instance, if you upgraded KOMPLETE 11 to KOMPLETE 11 ULTIMATE, you cannot remove KOMPLETE 11 from your account without KOMPLETE 11 ULTIMATE becoming invalid.

Third-party (OEM) products license transfers

The license transfer of third-party (OEM) is carried out by the manufacturer. Please contact the manufacturer of your library to arrange a license transfer. If the manufacturer is referring to Native Instruments, please ask for a written authorisation confirming that we can delete the registration.
